- dav_Oz 6y agoI've heard about that, thanks for pointing that out. It can get quite complex when you begin to consider a main mechanism in antibiotic resistance: information flow between other species of bacteria (horizontal gene transfer) + Viruses as significant boosters in evolution with their superpower in living systems to "easily" modify/add huge chunks of DNA/RNA.
